However, if 49ers indeed release Smith then Jets should take him. He is already beyond the struggle stage and knows how to control the football better. Sanchez is stuck in the struggle stage and Jets have no wait time for him to get around and help Jets back to a playoff contender.

Yeah I don't think they'd let him walk unless they need to free up cap room...I do think however they would listen to reasonable trade offers for him, and with Gamble running the show I'm sure he could work out a fair deal for him
